Number_i, special program on NHK

A program featuring the popular group Number_i, "NHK MUSIC SPECIAL Number_i - A Unique Challenge to the World," will be broadcast on NHK General TV from 11:00 p.m. on August 16th.

In 2024, his debut song "GOAT" surpassed 10 million views on its music video (MV), the fastest record for a debut single by a Japanese male artist at the time, and reached number one on the domestic hit charts.

They continued to release hits such as "BON," "INZM," and "GOD_i." At the end of the year, they made their first appearance on the Red and White Song Battle. Highly praised as a one-of-a-kind group that combines an addictive sound and lyrics with high-level dance performances, they have attracted a lot of attention, including being selected by overseas media as "the J-POP group that will make a big leap this year."

From the start of their debut, the group was formed with the clear goal of "going global," and what inspired them to take on the world was their appearance at the world's largest music festival, Coachella Festival, held in May of last year. It was the first time the three members had performed on a major overseas stage, and it reaffirmed their desire to go global.

This year, they were given another chance to take on the world at HEAD IN THE CLOUDS LOS ANGELES 2025 (HITC), a music festival held in Los Angeles, USA, featuring artists with Asian roots. Number_i was the only Japanese artist invited this year, and was given a 30-minute solo performance.

The program follows them as they take on the music festival. The members themselves said they "packed everything Number_i into" this performance, and the program will show them going through their final rehearsals in Los Angeles to create it, as well as relaxing during their precious time off in Los Angeles.

The program also covers her collaboration with Jackson Wang, a world-famous Chinese artist. She has over 100 million followers on social media worldwide and is ranked on the US music charts. The program also covers the filming of the music video for the song she created with Jackson. The program also covers the interaction between the two artists, who respect each other and aim to go global from Asia.

At the end of the program, they will perform their latest song, "Unconfirmed Territory," in studio with a special production just for this occasion.
